Banner Engineering QS18VN6LAF Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering QS18VN6LAF is a World-BEAM QS18 Series all-purpose photoelectric sensor in a compact rectangular housing, engineered for dependable object detection with adjustable-field background suppression on industrial lines. It operates from 10–30 VDC with an NPN output and a configurable LO/DO interface, and is available with either a 2 m pre-wired lead or a 30 ft potted cable depending on the configuration. The QS18VN6LAF variant belongs to Banner's miniature QS18 family, offering adjustable-field background suppression and a sensing range typically shown as 30–150 mm in QS18 implementations; the LAF suffix identifies this variant within the lineup. This sensor is suited for generic automation tasks where distinguishing targets from backgrounds is required, such as presence sensing on conveyors or in packaging operations, with the World-Beam lineup supporting multiple sensing modes to accommodate different backgrounds and target types.
